TIE RED FLAG-

Anarchist Most has been heard from
again. In New York, on the Fourth,
De attended a picnic given by the Ma
chinists, aud when called on to speak,
De took occasion TO insult every true
American. lie said:
1.-The flagof the IS. was the standard
OF liberty I'm years gone by, but now 1t is
the flag OF the upper 10000 only. IL was
the ilag OF the rebellion. of revolution
lists once. Nowadays, 1t covers re-ac-
ton and corruption. IL was the stan
dard of Franklin and Payne now in
its folds nest such caricatures of all that
IL good and holy-Vanderbilt and
Gould and other mOnOpOlists. In short,
the American dag is no more the en-
blem OF republicanisIn. Therefore, the
working men-that Is, the people of the
United States-have good grounds To
choose, flag OF their own, and that is
the red Dag"
Look at it." cried the speaker.
"Tlcre IL no white I'm our flag. and no
meaninQless blue. No. no twinkling
stars for us and no stripes either. No
stripes 10 remind us OF that citadel of
brutality, Blackwall's Island. repeat
Il, and | wish the whole world could
hear me, our flag, the flag of the Amer
fcan working man, Is ftu. Inc req OF
hope. the red OF love, the red OF hate.
the red of blood and the red Of the An
archistic brotherhood"
And now II would appear that while
the Grand Army Ia so worked up on the
flag business. IL could find job near
home in settling Most and his gang Of
anarchist followers. The element that
raises the red flag Is much more to be
feared than the peaceable people of the
south. Anarchism Is more to be dread
cd than a visit OF President Cleveland
TO st. Louis and yet We have not seen
q resolution passed by Gny G.. A. II.
post declaring Most to be a traitor.
Consistency is not considered price
less jewel among some people.
